AUDIO PORTFOLIO
Organiser
Hello, I am Jonatan Arriaga, Mexican technical sound designer, mix engineer, producer and guitar player. I love designing and implementing sound for video games, interactive experiences and linear media.
I have more than 20 years of experience in the audio and music industry, managed the international music promotion platform Sounds of the World (UK) back in 2015 , a project that aimed to promote emerging talents from countries like India, Senegal, Moldova, México and South Africa. I produced two metal albums for local acts: "Demon Project" being in charge of performing guitars, pre-production, editing, arranging and studio engineering.
The other project was "Circles of Mind", a project in which I did most of the songwriting, arrangements, performed guitars and help with the production of the album.
I hold a master’s degree Sound Design for Video Games from Arts University Bournemouth (UK) via Thinkspace Education and a bachelors in Digital Music Production by Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico City campus.
I am really engaged with the development of game audio in Mexico that is why I love offering learning materials in Spanish through my blog and also helping organising game audio events through the Game Audio México networking group.
I hope you enjoy the material on my site!
